That's precisely what I was going to point out.
"Your left brain is logical, linear, by-the-numbers; the right side is creative, artistic, empathetic (...) our country is entering a new era -- the so-called conceptual age -- during which right-brained skills such as design and storytelling will become far more crucial than traditionally left-brained skills such as accounting and computer programming."
That implies that computer programming is "linear" and non-creative. Draw your own conclusions. Why is design right-brained, but not programming? All in all, here's a prime example of bad journalism: an orgy of labels, and absolutely no content.
Moreover, even accounting can be creative. Just ask Andy Fastow, Enron's former CFO...
